Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 394 Accident

  Tuscan restaurant.

   This is a Turkish-style restaurant located on the mountainside. The decoration style of the restaurant is very simple, with dome windows, checkered tablecloths, and white wooden tables and chairs.

  Orti was wearing a long blue dress, her breasts, slender waist, and long legs were hard to hide. Her graceful figure was looming, and she became a sight in the eyes of male diners as soon as she entered the restaurant.

  Luke sat at the dining table by the window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, the beauty on the opposite side, and the delicious food on the table, he felt relaxed.

  Work is only a part of life, work is for a better life, and blind work will only make people lose themselves and forget the true meaning of life.

  Food, beautiful scenery and beautiful women, accompanied by relatives and friends, life is nothing like this.

  Of course, the prerequisite for obtaining these is sufficient economic income and material security, which is also the essence of work.

   After all, the purpose of most people's work is not out of love and dedication.

  Orti flipped through the menu, blinked her beautiful eyelashes, and asked, "What do you want?"

   "Is there any roasted whole lamb?" Luke didn't know much about Turkish restaurants, and his general impression was that people in this area like to eat lamb.

   "Yes, but you can't finish it. You pay the bill."

  Luke flipped through the menu, pointed to a picture in the upper right corner, "This ancient grilled lamb chop is good, let me order one.

   There is also this Turkish pie, grilled eggplant, seafood platter, and clay pot beef. "

  The portions of these dishes that Luke ordered are not small, and they are all hard dishes.

   "Have you not eaten for a few days?" Orti grabbed the menu and ordered another rice pudding, chocolate coffee beans, and a bottle of red wine.

   "Since I met you in the museum last time, I haven't had a serious meal. Today I have to make up for it and have a good meal."

  Orti brushed the hair next to his ear with his right hand, and joked, "Am I so charming? It actually makes Captain Li forget about eating and drinking."

  Luke raised his eyebrows, "Of course, I dreamed about you last night..."

   Orti "…"

  A waitress in folk costumes came over and helped them order food.

  Luke wiped his hands with a wet towel, "What do you want me to do today?"

  Orti glanced around and said, "The paintings in the Getty Museum have been robbed."

"When did it happen?" The last time Luke and Orti met, the two met at the Getty Museum. According to Orti, the museum received a threatening letter, claiming to steal Van Gogh during the Christmas holiday. The masterpiece 'Iris'.

   "This morning."

   "Van Gogh's iris was robbed?"

   "No, not iris.

   are ten other oil paintings, each worth millions of dollars, totaling more than twenty million dollars. "

   "Since the museum has received a threatening letter, haven't the museum's security measures been strengthened?"

   "Of course it was strengthened.

  But those ten oil paintings were not stolen in the museum, but were robbed during transportation, and the robbers robbed the car transporting the oil paintings. "

   "Where are the ten oil paintings going to be shipped?"

  “It is said that after the Getty Museum received the threatening letter, it was worried that Van Gogh’s irises would be stolen, so it strengthened the security in the museum, especially the venues where the irises were exhibited.

  The Getty Museum has more than one building, and the venue area is very large, but during the adjustment process, some security loopholes were found in other venues.

  In order to avoid being taken advantage of by robbers, the Getty Museum is going to transfer some of the precious oil paintings to the bank vault.

   But there was an accident in transit..."

  During the conversation, the waiter began to serve the dishes.

  The first dish is clay pot beef. When the beef is poured out of the pot, there is a scent that immediately hits Luke's cravings, and he feels a little hungry instantly.

  Luke picked up the red wine glass and had a drink with Orti, and then began to eat.

  Turkish pie, grilled eggplant, seafood platter, each dish is unique and delicious.

  The last thing served is the ancient grilled lamb chops. Just smelling the aroma of lamb makes people feel that the trip is worthwhile.

   After eating a piece of lamb chops, Luke felt a lot more satisfied, and then continued to chat with Orti, "The Getty Museum contacted the Pinkerton Detective Agency again?"

"More than that, the robbed oil paintings have had a great impact on the Getty Museum. They are using all their connections to find the whereabouts of the oil paintings. They have issued rewards to all detective agencies. As long as the ten stolen oil paintings can be recovered, the museum is willing. Pay a bonus of two million U.S. dollars." Orti raised a glass of red wine as a gesture.

  Luke also took a sip of the red wine, and tentatively asked, "You expect me to accept this commission?"

  Orti shook his head, "As I said before, many commissions cannot be completed by one person and require teamwork.

  You are only a person now and do not have the ability to accept entrustments. "

  Luke spread his hands, "Then why are you telling me this? Do you want me to regret it? Or are you sad for the two million dollars?"

   Orti smiled, "Would you?"

   "I never regret for something that doesn't belong to me, it doesn't make any sense."

  Orti wiped his red lips with a napkin, "As far as I know, this reward is not only valid for detective agencies, but also for the police department.

  You can use your identity as a police force to take over the case, so that you not only have a team, but also use the resources of the police department.

  Of course, most of the bonus is estimated to be shared. "

   "It's not realistic.

  I have a very important case in my hands right now. "Don't say that Luke has a case in his hand, even if he doesn't have a case in his hand, it doesn't mean that he can handle any case he wants to handle.

  The police are not detectives, and it is impossible to randomly select cases. If they take the initiative to ask to investigate this case because there is a reward, wouldn't the police system be in chaos.

  Orti said, "That's a pity, this is not a small sum."

  Luke asked, "Which department is currently handling this case?"

  Orti said, "The transport vehicle was robbed in the jurisdiction of the Southern Branch, and it is said that the Southern Branch rushed to the scene as soon as possible.

  In addition, I got a message that the FBI may also be involved in the investigation of the case. "

  Since the FBI is also involved in this case, Luke does not intend to go into the muddy water, and raised his glass, "Anyway, I still want to thank you.

   Thank you for the dinner too, I was very satisfied with it. "

  …

  The next morning.

  Luke rushed to the police station early in the morning, but instead of going to the robbery and murder department, he went to the technical team first.

   After waiting for half an hour, Luke returned to the Robbery and Murder Division after receiving the appraisal result.

  As soon as he entered the office, Luke greeted, "Guys, it's a meeting."

  Luke walked to the projector and put the identification results on the projector, "Yesterday, the technical team brought the food and red wine eaten by the Gray couple back to the police station for identification, and the drug ingredients that caused coma were found in the red wine.

  Yesterday afternoon, Georgia Gray was sent to the hospital for examination, and the technical team also got a copy of her blood. The technical team conducted a drug test on her blood and found no drug components that caused coma in the blood. "

  Jenny said, "Georgia Gray really lied, she was not stunned, what happened on the night of the 29th? Why did she pretend to be imprisoned in the secret room?"

  Jackson said, "I guess it might be related to her husband. According to her transcript, on the night of the 29th, she had dinner with her husband.

  We speculated before that she might have been stunned by her husband and imprisoned in a secret room;

  Assuming that the coma and captivity were directed and acted by her, then her husband is not a suspect. Speaking of this, Jackson boldly guessed, "Could it be her husband who was really stunned, and she is the one who took the drug?" "

  Little Heidao, "It makes sense, but if you want to prove it, you have to find his husband first.

   There is no change from the previous survey method. "

  Jackson shook his head, "No, there is still a difference.

  If Mr. Gray becomes a victim, then he may have already encountered an accident, and it is no longer appropriate to use the wanted method to search for him.

  He may have turned into a corpse, and a corpse will never be found using the means of wanting a living person.

   And we cannot convict Georgia Gray without finding the body. "

  Jenny frowned and said, "Since Georgia Gray did not detect drug ingredients in her body, it proves that she lied. This should also be regarded as evidence."

  Luke also thought about this, "This is indeed a key piece of evidence, but the greater role of this evidence is to allow the police to discover suspicious points in the case.

  Although it can be proved that Georgia Gray may have lied, she cannot be convicted, and the trial will enter a stalemate.

   So, I'm not going to startle the snake until I find the key evidence or Mr. Gray.

  We can secretly investigate while confusing her. "

  The deputy team said, "What is the direction of the investigation? Looking for Mr. Gray's body?"

  Luke also feels that Mr. Gray is likely to be killed, "This is a major direction."

  The vice-team said, "The Grays have moved to the holiday house since the 18th, during which time they had little contact with the outside world.

  Between the 18th and the 29th, Mr. Gray may be killed. This time range is a bit long. It is best to be more precise about the time when Mr. Gray disappeared. "

  Luke nodded, and ordered, "Raymond, Jenny, contact the Gray couple's surrounding relationship, and confirm the time when Mr. Gray last had contact with the outside world."

   "Yes, sir."

  Xiao Hei said, "If Mr. Gray was really killed, his body may have been buried. Are we looking for the burial site around the resort, as well as the missing Porsche Cayenne."

  Luke thought for a while, "I leave the task of finding the Porsche Cayenne to you.

   As for looking for corpses near the resort, you can visit secretly to determine a few convenient places to bury the corpses, but you must be careful not to be discovered by Georgia Gray for the time being. "

  Jackson said, "If Georgia Gray really killed her husband, is she the real murderer of Kiru Jones?"

  Luke said, "Georgia Gray may be the real culprit who killed Kiru Jones, but it is also possible that she killed her husband in order to avenge Kiru Jones."

  Luke has already guessed that Georgia Gray is the key person in this case, but he still can't figure out the cause of the whole case. "Deputy team, is your investigation progressing?"

   "Yes, I went to meet the fiancée of the murdered police officer Jens Jauregui yesterday. They are already engaged and living together. They have a very good relationship. They planned to get married in the summer of 23, but it's a pity...

  I checked the relics in Jens Jauregui’s home, and found a key in a drawer. This key was not the key to the door lock, and no safe or anything like that was found.

   Later, I asked his fiancée and learned that Jens Jauregui also leased a warehouse.

  I found the warehouse, which contained some furniture and sundries. In addition, I also found 200,000 US dollars and some materials. "

  Xiao Hei was surprised, "What did you say? We found 200,000 US dollars in the warehouse?"

"Yes."

  Xiao Hei grinned his thick lips, "Isn't this normal, who would put so much cash in the warehouse? Anyway, I wouldn't do such a thing.

   Unless the money comes from bad sources. "

  Luke reminded, "Marcus, don't talk nonsense, and be careful to get yourself into trouble."

  Xiao Hei patted his mouth, "Sorry, I shouldn't doubt my colleagues casually."

  That being said, in fact, Luke also agrees with Xiao Hei's words in his heart, who would put $200,000 in cash in the warehouse.

  However, it’s okay to have doubts in your heart. In view of the status of police officer Jens Jaureji, such words cannot be easily said.

   "Deputy team, you just said that you found some information, what information?"

   "It looks like a floor plan of a large venue. It looks familiar, but I can't think of it for a while." The deputy team handed over the information.

  Luke opened it and saw that it was indeed a floor plan of the venue, which also marked the location of security personnel, monitoring, infrared triggers...

  Look looked at this floor plan and felt very familiar. He flipped through a few of them, and finally remembered this familiar place.

  Getty Museum.

   This information is actually the floor plan of the Getty Museum, no, to be precise, it should be the distribution map of the museum's security personnel and security facilities.

  Luke remembered the conversation with Orti last night. Could it be that the death of Jens Jauregui was related to the robbery of the oil painting in the museum?

   Not broken, the update is late...
